The Cold War has captivated our imaginations and taken over our television sets. But instead of stylish spies in disguise, HBO Films is taking the biopic route.
冷战题材一直让我们充满幻想,常常大把占据电视屏幕。但是不同与以往那些充斥着时髦间谍的谍战类影视,HBO决定拍一部传记片。

HBO Films confirmed Thursday they are developing a movie about former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev with the help of Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio. Neither actor will be donning that distinctive birthmark, though. They’re just helping to make sure the project comes to life through their respective production companies — DiCaprio’s Appian Way, and Hanks’ Playtone.
HBO周四确认,他们正在制作一部关于末代苏联共产党中央总书记米哈伊尔·戈尔巴乔夫的传记电影,并得到了汤姆·汉克斯和莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥的协助。不过两位大腕都不会出演传奇人物戈尔巴乔夫,他们只是通过各自的制片公司——迪卡普里奥的Appian Way和汉克斯的Playtone——来帮助这一项目进展下去。

The film will chronicle Gorbachev’s time as president through the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union from a script by X-Files and Breaking Bad writer and producer John Shiban. Gorbachev, now 82, has worked with DiCaprio before on The 11th Hour, and will serve as a consultant on the project. There’s no word yet on timeline or casting.
本片将讲述戈尔巴乔夫在任期间一直到冷战末期和苏联解体的故事。剧本由《X-Files》(《X档案》)和《Breaking Bad》(《绝命毒师》)的编剧及制片约翰·史班撰写。现年82岁的戈尔巴乔夫之前在The 11th Hour(第十一个小时)和迪卡普里奥有过合作,同时他也会作为顾问参与本片的制作,至于演员阵容和拍摄时间的细节目前还没有消息透露。
